He constantly tweets about anyone who offends him or calls him out. Do we really care that he had higher ratings then Arnold on the Apprentice. Is this what our president should be focused on. Plus he has told lie after lie. And if they aren't lies then why doesn't he show the proof. The fact is, he has no proof, it's only a deflection of his many missteps since he took office. Trump will go down as one of the worst presidents.
Trump or Donny Con whichever you prefer is a SERIAL liar and he needs to be called out for accusing BO of tapping his phones which is a cruel and callous use of his executive power. Frankly, if he can't prove it he needs to apologize to President Obama in a very public and sincere way.

This is not a banana republic where the incumbent can accuse a past President of a felony with no consequences.

Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama. . . On and on, ad infinitum. Obama isn't saying Trump tapped his phones. Obama isn't the one who claimed he had "record" numbers of people at his inauguration, and Obama didn't claim illegal immigrants and dead people's votes made him lose the popular vote. Obama isn't the 70 year old president now and he isn't the one making a complete fool of himself through his transparent lies and outrageous accusations.

Trump is not lying ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he is just telling his base what “they” want to hear? He’s a salesman who simply tells things to his customers who will believe and listen to him. Ever buy a used car from a salesman only to have buyer’s remorse later when things broke down.

Default Truthful Hyperbole is what it's called.

The First 100 Lies: The Trump Team's Flurry Of Falsehoods | The Huffington Post

He is a pathological lying 'NUTCASE' who has surrounded himself with other liars!
And it says a lot about the character of most Americans who voted for him, seeing his lies right out in the open. He'd be raked over the coals 100 times if he was a Democrat spouting the same bile, and that's why his minions always change the subject to the sins of others. The whole "Crooked Hillary" thing was a way to distract from his own fraudulent character.

I think Trump hasn't released his taxes because much of his supposed wealth is tied up in debt and he's embarrassed to show the details.

This election revealed what I've long noticed about average Americans: They lack deeper intelligence and are only superficially honest. Most of their lives are spent chasing money and pretending everything is fine if they have it, while the rest can just go rot. I don't know if Trump was bright enough to deliberately manipulate his dumb audience, but he certainly played their tune.

All you people ever do is change the subject to much lesser liars. It speaks to your (lack of) character, and you probably don't care, which is par for the course, of course.

Here's a good piece on Trump's particular brand of dishonesty.

Report such posts every time they pull that crap, because they are guilty of being ~ "OFF-TOPIC", "Derailing the thread", and being an internet TROLL".

Visions with no specific plans on how to achieve them are still only visions.

Oh well.
It's this kind of BS false equivalency that paved the path for Trump's victory in November
